Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Soft and cloud like pumpkin cookies packed with tons of pumpkin flavor and chocolate chips.
Ingredients
2–1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¾ cup pure pumpkin (I use Libby’s canned pumpkin)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
12 tablespoons (1–1/2 sticks) butter, room temperature
¾ cup dark brown sugar
¾ cup sugar
1–1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment, Silpat or spray with non stick spray.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Set aside.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until slightly fluffy, about 1 minute. Add the pumpkin, egg and vanilla and beat until well mixed.
4. Add the flour mixture 1 cup at a time and beat until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
5. Scoop heaping Tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart. Press a few additional chocolate chips into the top of each scoop of cookie dough, if desired.
6. Bake 12-13 minutes, until set and just starting to brown on top. Let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
